The Genographic Project: Traditional Knowledge And Population Genetics, Matthew Rimmer

Matthew Rimmer

This article considers the debate over patent law, informed consent, and benefit-sharing in the context of biomedical research in respect of Indigenous communities. In particular, it focuses upon three key controversies over large-scale biology projects, involving Indigenous populations. These case studies are representative of the tensions between research organisations, Indigenous communities, and funding agencies. Section two considers the aims and origins of the Human Genome Diversity Project, and criticisms levelled against the venture by Indigenous peak bodies and anti-biotechnology groups, such as the Rural Advancement Foundation International. It examines the ways in which the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural …

The Political Economy Of Aids Treatment: Intellectual Property And The Transformation Of Generic Supply, Kenneth C. Shadlen

Ken Shadlen

This article examines the relationship between intellectual property (IP) and public health, with a focus on the extension of AIDS treatment in the developing world. While most of the literature on IP and health examines the conditions affecting poor countries’ capacities to acquire essential medicines, I show the distinct – and more complicated – political economy of production and supply. IP regulations alter the structure of generic pharmaceutical sectors in the countries capable of supplying essential medicines, and changes in market structure affect actors’ economic and political interests and capacities. These new constellations of interests and capacities have profound implications …

An Overview Of The Broadband Market In Thailand, Tanit Follett

Tanit Follett, J.S.D.

Thailand’s telecommunications sector is not fully transformed from monopolistic telecommunications markets into competitive one. The establishment of National Telecommunications Commission (“NTC”), an independent telecommunications regulatory agency, in 2004 has brought about the goal of creating a level-playing competition among incumbents: state enterprises, concessionaires, and new entrants. However, it becomes more challenging for NTC to achieve that goal when the concession agreement still exists. This fundamental problem has a direct impact on residential broadband Internet access as its system architecture relies heavily on fixed-line telecommunications network. The lack of enforcement by regulator and uncompromising attitudes between state enterprises and concessionaires are …

Electronic Government And Digital Inclusion: Examples From India, Subhajit Basu

Subhajit Basu

This presentation has two parts: In the first part I look into Development, effect of technology on development, obviously technology provides opportunity to have choices but Can Technology (here ICT) influence development? Digital inclusion is a concept about the disparities in terms of citizens’ participation in the Information Society. This participation may be conceptualised in the first instance as ICT access, levels of use and use patterns. On one hand we have technology which promises of New Dawn for the developing countries, on the other hand only access to technology will not provide development for poor millions of a developing …

Chain Reaction: How Property Begets Property, Sabrina Safrin

Sabrina Safrin

Classic theories for the evolution of property rights consider the emergence of private property to be a progressive development reflecting a society's movement to a more efficient property regime. This article argues that instead of this progressive dynamic, a more subtle and damaging chain reaction dynamic can come into play that traditional theories for intellectual and other property rights neither anticipate nor explain. The article suggests that the expansion of intellectual and other property rights have an internally generative dynamic. Drawing upon contemporary case studies, the article argues that property rights evolve in reaction to each other. The creation of …

The Hong Kong Amendment To The Trips Agreement: A Submission To The Joint Standing Committee On Treaties., Matthew Rimmer

Matthew Rimmer

In the wake of the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health 2001 and the WTO General Council Decision 2003, there is a need for industrialised nations to implement legislation to enable the export of pharmaceutical drugs to address public health concerns.I would argue that the Patents Act 1990 (Cth) should make provision for the grant of a compulsory licence over a patented invention in circumstances of ‘a national emergency or other circumstances of extreme urgency, or in cases of public non-commercial use’. Such a measure is necessary to deal with the possibility of public health epidemics that …

Public Sector Intellectual Property Management In Life Sciences: Reconciling Practice And Policy, Antony Taubman, Roya Ghafele

Roya Ghafele

This chapter reviews the options for effective public sector management of intellectual property (IP) in the life sciences, focusing on the need for a judicious, pragmatic choice of options along two axes: (1) deployment of exclusive rights over technology and (2) use of market mechanisms to bring a new technology to the public. The essence of public sector IP management is finding the right settings along these two axes that will deliver tangible outcomes in line with defined public-interest objectives. Experience shows that ex ante assumptions about how to gain optimal leverage from exclusive rights, and the appropriate degree of …
